President Cleveland's letter to
Mayor Francis, of st. Louis, declin-
ing the invitation to be present in
that city on the occasion of the ma
tional encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, which is pub
ished elsewhere in this paper, is one
of the noblest and most courtly doc
uments that ever came from the pen
of a President of the United States.
No comrade of the order. unbiased
by selfish or political motives, will
hesitate to condemn the mischief
makers, whose insults and obnoxious
interference forced upon the Presi-
dent the necessity for writing such
an epistle. But there is this about
it: The Presidents dignifed course
and manly communication has pune
tured somebody's political balloon,
and the accumulated gas of the past
two months has turned into vapor

The Revised Bible a Failure.

The following paragraph is going
the rounds of the newspapers:
philadelphia publishers say the
revised Bible has fallen fiat. Hun
dres of thousand of copies remain
on the shelves, and the people will
not have them at any price. The
old Bible is good enough. Stick to
it.
at is true" said gentleman to
Journal reporter. THAT there has
been falling off as compared with
the demand when the revised Bible
first appeared, but there has not
been such falling off as to warrant
that statement. There is steady
sale and a slight increase has begun.
There has never been the same de-
mand for the Bible as for the New
Testament in the revised form"
At the rooms of the Massachu-
setts Bible society it was said that
sixty copies of the King James YER
sion were still sold for every one of
the revised. There was tendency
to criticise the change, which makes
a less definite distinction between
chapters. The price of the old YER
sion is also lower, and an octave
edition of the revised Bible selling
at $3.50 is no better a book than
that published by the society at rs
cents.
That statement is strictly true"
said Mr.. Upham, book dealer.
The revised edition has fallen flat.
1t has not been adopted by the Epis-
copal clergy of this country or in
England. 1t is not wanted. Bishop
Williams hit the matter rightly when
he said the revisers were so saturat
ed with Greek that they forgot how
to use their English correctly. The
issuing of the work has been from
the start case of how not to do it.
The work is too expensive, the type
is too small, and it is otherwise un-
desirable We have no demand for
it."
1T sells very slowly, indeed. with
us, was the answer at the Univer
salist publishing house. There
has been some little call for the re-
vised New Testament, but / see moth
ing that indicates any general use of
the book" Boston Journal

The Perils of Riches.

"Great possessions may bring
great misfortunes." The wise man
is sometimes correct. Only six
months ago man in Ohio was left
a fortune of 100000 by the death
of his father. And already his broth
ers, sisters and cousins have gone
into court and proved that the mans
father had three wives at one time;
that he died head and ears in debt
to all his relatives; that his fortune
was dishonesty obtained, and that
he was a defaulter to the govern
ment; that he had been violently
insane at several periods of his life
and. was in condition of hopeless
imbecility at the time he made his
will; that the man forged this will
anyhow, and that he was not able to
take care of such a property in any
case, being himself little better than
an idiot. He has still little of the
money left, but he leaves it out on
the doorstep every night in the hope
that somebody will come along and
steal it.-Brooklyn Eagle.
